Awesome job. Bass can be a blast but there is something about the salt and catching fish that you want to eat that might be more fun.

Beware of cheap sunglasses. Polarization is a minimum, but according to my optometrist, quality of UV A and B blockage varies. He says you need to look up lens ratings - I'm not sure where. Cheap sunglasses can actually do more harm than not wearing any, by increasing the dilation of your eyes, letting in more UV.

I wear $50 Cocoons over my prescription glasses. They look a little "out-there" but give good side protection. They can scratch easily though.

Looking for the approval and conditions for a possible 50 fathom outing in April.

Here’s my Pereguard job on my Lynx where I couldn’t quite get it to conform and on my OB where the little triangle cuts I made didn’t fit or stick well and are held in with….tape.
The Pereguard on the Lynx side edges has been perfect so far.

Thanks Al!  I love it, especially the weight.  My hesitation is mandatorily adding up to 32oz of lead to my platform for an unverified life expectancy of said released species.   

I've descended even a 20"+ Yellow Eye on 10oz. It took a bit to get him started but once they go down about 10 feet they seem to be able to keep going. That was in only about 60' of water though, so maybe that helped. I think Coppers and maybe Quillbacks go down easier. I plan on having only 12 oz on my Shelton and if that doesn't work then I could add another 10. I cannot see 32oz ever being needed. Maybe for a huge YE in 50 fathom plus? 50 fathom plus is where the survival of barotrauma seems suspect anyway.

Long ago my wife and I had to navigate some like that in our Neckys, but it was a good swell with a surf contest going on as well.

I’m just glad it’s not on the upper part of the leg 

Or the "third leg".
